Hello! "Excel skills to Make an Impression". The course title alone is enough to make me want to enroll on the spot: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/core-excel-skills-to-make-an-impression If you want me to, I'll tell you how it was! Best regards, Mac Juli
I'm not sure how impressive you can get with Excel skills. It's not like you can just walk down the street and do random spreadsheets, haha
I can juggle flaming spreadsheets with my feet, blindfolded while train surfing. I'm also working on mastering some razor sharp balisong database tricks
I volunteer as tribute! I already know how to use V/HLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH in order to pull really specific information on queries. I know the very basics of pivot tables, but it's always a lot of trial and error so hopefully I can learn something new. Some of the error things mentioned like dynamic arrays are totally new to me. I've registered on FutureLearn for the first time and I have 6 weeks access to the course, I'm not sure if that's typical. Week 1 is IF statements, comparative operators (=, >, <, >=, etc.) Week 2 is all about pivot tables Week 3 is dynamic arrays, SORT/SORTBY, FILTER Week 4 is V/HLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, XLOOKUP
Every upcoming manager or executive should be striving to have solid/impressive Excel, MiniTab, and Tableau skills. Understand how to analyze, synthesize, and visually present data analytics is a fundamental skill set. While it may not be a requirement to always be impressive with them, not being competent can be a dealbreaker.
